An injury to the glenoid labrum that can be described as Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior.   SLAP lesion  
95% of all shoulder dislocations   Anterior shoulder dislocation  
cortical depression in the head of the humerus bone.from forceful impaction of the humeral head against the anteroinferior glenoid rim when the shoulder is dislocated anteriorly.   Hill Sachs  
An avulsion of the anteroinferior glenoid labrum at its attachment to IGHL complex.   Bankhart lesion  
Dislocation caused by an anterior force, seizure, or electric shock, and is fairly uncommon   Posterior shoulder dislocation  
This injury can damage the radial nerve.   Humeral shaft fracture  
Medial epicondylitis   golfer's elbow  
Lateral epicondylitis   Tennis elbow  
dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated arm. The head of the radius slips out of the annular ligament   Nurse maid's elbow  
90% of elbow dislocations are in this direction   posterior  
Most common elbow fracture in kids   supracondylar  
Ulnar shaft fracture with proximal radius dislocation.   Monteggia fracture  
Radial fracture with distal ulna dislocation   Galeazzi fracture  
Isolated ulna fracture caused by direct blow to the forearm   Night stick fracture  
90% of distal radial fractures. Usually from a FOOSH. Dorsal angulation of distal fragment   Colles fracture  
Distal radial fracture from a fall on the back of the hand. Causes a volar angulation of the distal fragment.   Smith fracture  
Most common carpal fracture, at an increased risk for avascular necrosis   scaphoid fracture  
fracture of the distal 5th metacarpal   Boxer's or Brawler's fracture  
Forced flexion of the finger from an axial load, causing rupture of extensor digitorum to DIP.   Mallet finger  
Thickened palmar fascia forms nodules over the flexor tendons causing a flexion contracture. Most common at ring and pinky finger.   Dupuytren's contracture  
occurs when the motion of the tendon that opens and closes the finger is limited, causing the finger to lock or catch   trigger finger  
Caused by abduction stress at the thumb. UCL injury   Skier's thumb (gamekeeper's thumb)  
bony growths on the terminal (DIP). interphalangeal joints of the fingers   Heberden's nodes  
hard, bony outgrowths or gelatinous cysts on the proximal interphalangeal joints   Bouchard's nodes  
flexion of DIP and hyperextension of PIP   swan neck deformity  
Loss of central slip insertion on proximal dorsal middle phalanx. Flexion fo PIP and hyperextension of DIP.   boutonnieres deformity  
Seen on oblique view, a defect in the pars interarticularis puts a collar on the scotty dog.   spondylolysis  
MVA injury where the lap belt immobilizes pelvis and the thorax is forcefully flexed forward. seen on AP as a crack throught the owl's eyes (pedicles), or an open beak (cracked spinous process)   Chance fracture  
Collapse of anterior vertebral body with intact posterior wall from hyperflexion or osteoporosis   wedge fracture  
vertebral slipping   spondylolisthesis  
lateral curvature of the spine   scoliosis  
classification system used for grading hip fractures   Garden type  
90% of hip fractures are in this direction   posterior  
Occurs at the origin og the sartorius, and is caused by knee flexion and hip hyper-extension.   ASIS avulsion fracture  
Occurs at the origin of the hamstring, and is caused by vigorous hip flexion with knee extension.   Ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture  
Occurs in obese adolescent boys. Will cause a limp and hip, thigh or knee pain, loss of IR, flexion and abduction   Slipped capital femoral epiphysis  
avulsion fragement of the lateral tibial plateau associated with ACL or meniscus tear   Segond fracture  
Gastrocnemius tendon sesamoid   Fabella  
Proximal 1/3 fibula fracture associated with medial ankle fracture.   Maisonneuve fracture  
Tibial tubercle apophysitis common in adolescents   Osgood Schlatter's  
Holds tibia and fibula together   Syndesmosis  
indications for getting imaging after ankle injury   Ottawa rules  
85% of all ankle sprains are in this direction, and are from a plantar flexion inversion injury.   Lateral  
Fracture of proximal 5th metatarsal, from an inversion injury   Jones fracture  
most common fracture of the ankle   distal fibula fracture  
Usually seen in deconditioned athletes, and is caused by quick plantar flexion   Achilles injury  
AKA shin splints   medial tibial stress syndrom  
Calcaneal apophystis, very common in 7-15 year olds   sever's disease  
pain on plantar aspect of calcaneus, will result in but are not caused by heel spurs   Plantar fasciitis  
disruption of tarsometatarsal joint   Lisfranc fracture  
Perineural fibrosis of digital nerve between 3rd and 4th web space, caused by walking on hard surfaces or wearing tight shoes.   Morton's neuroma  
Urate crystals in 1st MTP joint   Gout  
flat foot   Pes planus  
first mtp joint sprain from excessive force of dorsiflexion or plantarflexion   turf toe  
Childhood fracture in which the physis is widened. Growth disturbances are uncommon.   Salter Harris I  
Childhood fracture that involves the metaphysis as well as the physis. Rarely results in functional deficits. The most common type.   Salter Harris II  
Childhood fracture that involves both the epiphysis as well as the physis. There is damage to the growth plate but prognosis is relatively favorable.   Salter Harris III  
Child hood fracture that involves the epiphysis, physis, and metaphysis. Can result in chronic disability.   Salter Harris IV  
Childhood fracture that is a compression of the physis caused by an axial load. Poor functional prognosis.   Salter Harris V  
As seen on a lateral radiograph of the cervical spine a widened predental space (greater than 2.5 mm)idicates what type of injury.   Transverse ligament injury or laxity.  
Can occur from a blow to the top of the head and affects C1.   Jefferson fx  
Tip of the dens, usually stable   Type I odontoid fracture  
Base of the dens, most common   Type II odontoid fracture  
Through C2 body, unstable   Type III odontoid fracture  
Commonly occur at proximal 2/3 and distal 1/3 of the involved bone.   Clavicle fx  
When the humeral head slightly overlaps the glenoid in a normal AP radiograph.   Cresent sign  
AP view of the shoulder shows the humeral head to lie medial to the glenoid and inferior to the coracoid   Anterior shoulder dislocation  
On an AP radiograph the humeral head is lateral to the glenoid so that there is no overlap.   Posterior shoulder dislocation  
These are the three cardinal signs for what;joint space narrowing, bony overgrowth at edge of joint, sclerosis along articular surface   Osteoarthritis
